La forastera

La forastera

Merino, Olga

After a youth of excesses, Angie lives withdrawn -almost entrenched- in a remote village in the south. For the neighbors, she is the crazy woman who lets herself be seen in the company of her dogs. Its existence takes place in the old family house, in a continuous crossing of two times: the present and the past. He only has his ghosts and the memory of love lived with an English artist in the forgotten London of Margaret Thatcher. The discovery of the hanged body of the most powerful landowner in the region leads Angie to unearth old family secrets and to discover the fatal thread of death, misunderstanding and silence that unites everyone in the region. Is it isolation? Are the walnuts, which secrete a poisonous substance? Or perhaps the melancholy of the Hungarians, who arrived centuries ago with their trunks and violins? Angie knows that when you have lost everything, there is nothing that can be taken from you. La forastera is a contemporary western in the rough territory of a forgotten Spain. A thrilling and exciting story about the freedom and resilience of human beings
